Teaching Learning

Sexual education is a part of the teaching-learning process that addresses cognitive, psychological, physical and social aspects of sexuality. The purpose of sexual education is to provide people with knowledge, abilities, attitudes and values that will help them to have good sexual health, well-being and dignity. The objective of this study was to explore the perspective of primary school teachers regarding Sexual Education in school. A descriptive qualitative study was designed based on content thematic analysis. Fifteen open-ended interviews with primary school teachers were carried out, followed by inductive data analysis using ATLAS.ti software. Two key themes emerged from the analysis: “In search of a comprehensive approach to Sexual Education” and “Barriers to Sexual Education in schools: From the lack of training to fear of the families”. We conclude that despite the efforts to implement a comprehensive approach to Sexual Education that recognises sexuality as a right, primary school teachers face difficulties in delivering Sexual Education in schools due to a lack of training and the fear that parents will reject their children being spoken to about sexuality.

Abstract: Classroom assessment (PBD) is introduced with the purpose of assessing and measuring the holistic development of a student's learning. PBD needs to be implemented to ensure that students develop an interest and enjoyment of learning. The burden of examination has been fully reduced to ensure that student character building can be carried out from standard one until three. This research is conducted to understand how primary school teachers in Malaysia implement PBD. The main aspects that been researched is on how teachers are integrating curriculum, teaching and assessment and the second is on how teachers are implementing PBD. Researcher has chosen to use a qualitative approach because this research aims to explore and understand in-depth on how teachers are implementing PBD. Ten teachers were selected to obtain data on the implementation of PBD. Researcher conducted interviews and observations during the data collection process. The findings were reported based on themes generated from the data obtained. Three themes have been developed to explain how teachers integrate curriculum, teaching and assessment as well as implementing PBD. The themes can also explain in detail the process of implementing PBD among these teachers. Ideally, teachers would still need ongoing supervision and guidance to ensure that they can understand and realize the implementation of PBD as required. This research also shows that there are still some gaps that policymakers need to fill in to ensure that the goals of the implementation could be achieved. Keywords:  Curriculum, Teaching, Classroom Assessment, Assessment    Abstrak : Pentaksiran Bilik Darjah (PBD) diperkenalkan dengan tujuan untuk menilai dan mengukur perkembangan pembelajaran seseorang murid secara holistik. PBD perlu dilaksanakan untuk memastikan murid-murid dapat memupuk minat dan keseronokkan untuk belajar. Bebanan peperiksaan telah dikurangkan sepenuhnya untuk memastikan pembinaan karakter murid dapat dilakukan sepanjang tempoh murid-murid ini berada di tahun satu hingga tiga. Penyelidikan ini dijalankan untuk memahami cara guru-guru sekolah rendah di Malaysia melaksanakan PBD. Aspek utama yang dilihat ialah cara guru-guru menghubungkaitkan kurikulum, pengajaran dan pentaksiran dan yang kedua ialah cara guru-guru melaksanakan PBD. Penyelidik telah memilih untuk menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif kerana penyelidikan ini berhasrat untuk meneroka dan memahami cara guru-guru melaksanakan PBD. Seramai sepuluh orang guru telah dipilih secara persampelan bertujuan untuk mendapatkan maklumat tentang pelaksanaan PBD. Penyelidik telah melakukan temu bual dan pemerhatian untuk proses pengumpulan data. Dapatan telah dilaporkan berdasarkan tema-tema yang dihasilkan berdasarkan data yang telah dikumpulkan. Tiga tema telah diperoleh untuk menjelaskan cara guru-guru menghubungkaitkan kurikulum, pengajaran dan pentaksiran serta melaksanakan PBD. Tema-tema itu juga dapat menjelaskan secara terperinci tentang proses pelaksanaan PBD dalam kalangan guru-guru yang dipilih. Secara idealnya para guru didapati masih memerlukan pemantauan dan bimbingan yang berterusan untuk memastikan mereka dapat memahami dan menzahiri cara pelaksanaan PBD seperti yang dihasratkan. Penyelidikan ini juga dapat menunjukkan bahawa masih terdapat beberapa lompang yang perlu diisi oleh pihak penggubal dasar untuk memastikan hasrat pelaksanaan PBD dapat dicapai sepenuhnya.

Learning Platform

The use of the Virtual Learning Environment Frog (VLE Frog) system is a powerful virtual learning system used in nearly 100,000 schools across the country. The system is a virtual learning platform that can be used by all students, teachers and schoolmates anytime and anywhere to access educational sites. However, its use is still at a disadvantage and has not been taken seriously by teachers in schools. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify the function and role of the VLE Frog system in schools. This study was a quantitative and qualitative study involving 367 people as a sample. Library surveys, questionnaires and observations were conducted to obtain data from this study. The findings of this study are expected to be one of the benchmarks for primary school teachers' readiness to use technology in education especially through the VLE Frog system.
